AS/NZS 5141:2018 Residential heating and cooling systems - Minimum applications and requirements for energy efficiency, performance and comfort criteria
Standards Australia/Standards New Zealand
The objective of this Standard is to specify requirements for the design, selection, installation, commissioning and maintenance of residential heating and cooling systems to maximize operating energy efficiency within residential buildings. It also sets requirements to achieve prescribed performance and comfort criteria.
This Standard includes requirements for ducted systems.
It does not include design and performance requirements for evaporative coolers as defined by AS 2913.
The terms “normative” and “informative” are used in a Standard to define the application of the appendices to which they apply. A “normative” appendix is an integral part of a Standard, whereas an “informative” appendix is only for information and guidance. Statements expressed in mandatory terms in notes and footnotes to tables and figures are deemed to be requirements of this Standard.
